Effects of carburetor tuning
The different carburetor components must be tuned both to one another and for the use intended.
Main jet MJ
The main jet MJ has the greatest influence with the throttle slide open (full throttle).
If the insulator of a new spark plug is very light or white after a brief ride at full throttle, or if the engine knocks,
